Wonderful Week 4

We actually got to go to the hospital this week. I guess we're getting to be less dangerous than the first week!

I started my clinical orientation at Good Samaritan Regional with 8 fellow (well, 1 fellow and 7 female) students. Our clinical instructor is Suzanne, and she's great. We discussed the policies and procedures, went over some housekeeping type stuff, and took a tour.

I completed my final checkoff on sterile gloving technique, and took the abbreviation quiz. I am so glad that I worked as a Unit Secretary for the past 9 months. One of the items we needed to translate was not covered in the class, and I remembered it from an actual Physician's Order sheet, and got it right!

I ran into a few people that I know around town, one being my wife's surgeon. He's a great guy, a personal friend as well, and plays bass guitar like a pro! Learning this week was a lot of fun, and it's getting more interesting. Got to get ready for the head to toe assessment coming up in week 10, so gotta run for now.
